My special thanks to Mr. Nick Glennie-Smith who wrote & arranged a couple of brilliant cues for this film, which through no fault of his own have been omitted from this record (but he got to play the Hammond, so he's happy, I hope). Mr. Richard Harvey somehow found time in his busy schedule to perform the more ethnic sounding instruments on this score. Those very loud drums are the creation of the very fabulous Mr. Grahama Ward. The solo cello was performed by Mr. Anthony Pleeth, the solo viola by Mr. David Emanuell. My greatest pleasure throughout the recording of this score was the chance to work with Mr. Pete Haycock again, truly one of the finest guitarists I know.
I'd like to thank Sam Schwartz & Mike Gorfaine, Bob & Harvey Weinstein, Franc Roddam, Karina Cooper, Emma Burnham, Andrew Stirling, Steve Pain, Tonia Daval, Nicole Jacobs

    The music omitted from the soundtrack version is alternate version of the climbing music in the opening, music that occurs when the avalanche drops the tent with the two rude climbers, music that occurs when Taylor rescues his friend & the three porters from falling of a cliff, Takeda's death, and that's it so far.
